Susanna Reid has hit out at body-shamers and people who call her “too stupid”.
The Good Morning Britain star said she is at “breaking point” over the insults she gets on social media, and is taking a step back from it.
Susanna, 49, who is the co-host of ITV star Piers Morgan, wrote: “When you work in TV you have to develop a thick skin, and I have certainly grown used to criticism.
“I’ve been called a snowflake (someone who takes offence at everything), I have been slammed for being a clothes horse and I am regularly instructed to pipe down because I am a woman.

“I am told I argue too much with Piers and should let him speak more, and at the same time that I agree too often with him and am a nodding lap dog.”
She continued writing in her Daily Mail column: “I am informed I am too fat, too thin, too old and too stupid.
“Spoilt, narcissistic and attention-seeking are common insults, although honestly no one on TV is going to be offended by the accusation that they seek attention. We’re hardly shrinking violets.”

Susanna even says she gets called “the C-word” and she’s had enough.
She added: “I’m finally at breaking point, and I’m taking a step back from all the nastiness.
As well as people criticising her, Susanna also said she can’t deal with all the racism online.
She said she was “terrified” over the abuse her footballing hero Ian Wright had told her about and asked why social media firms don’t do more to trace the perpetrators of racist and threatening posts and ban them.

The comments come as Susanna admitted yesterday her GMB future hangs in the balance as she debates her contract on the show.
The GMB host let slip on Wednesday’s show that she will be sitting down with TV execs to hammer out a deal.
While it is seen as a given Susanna will stay with ITV, Piers was keen to give her some advice on how to get a good deal.
The former newspaper editor joked that he liked to keep people hanging with the possibility that he’s ready to walk.
